Lasko MyHeat Personal Space Heater, Compact, White

On the cold nights My Heat warms my backside while I watch TV or read in bed, and in the morning it takes the chill off before you get up. I actually sometimes use it for just a minute as a bedwarmer by holding it under the covers a minute when I first get in...Of course, you don't want to do that and leave it unattended anywhere where it could turn over or the airflow would be disrupted so be prudent. I actually now enjoy the cold weather and look forward with a smile to turning off the heat pump and turning on My Heat for the evening. Also, during the day when it is cold near your desk this really makes you feel cozy and snug. You may have to experiment to see how and where you want the heat, but it is just enough...for me anyway, especially, compared to the days I used to warm myself with a candle in the guardhouse in the snow in Germany. Next to that it is like the sun itself. A critical feature is that is uses only 200 watts. That is a tiny amount of energy for such comfort. I live in a net zero energy house powered by solar and I have a game of trying to use the least kwh and have the maximum comfort living on exactly what I produce. The My Heat has probably saved me 100 kwh in just one month AND made me more comfortable when compared to the last month when I used the heat pump in the frigid weather to try to keep warm. To use the heat pump I had to try to raise the whole room temperature up to near 80 to try to feel warm, and I would still feel chilled. With the radiant heat of My Heat when the sun goes down I let the room temp drop and don't turn on the heat pump until the sun comes up the next day and like the room cooler so I can enjoy having My Heat right up next to me giving a really toasty feeling. So, you see this is the ultimate heating device that "spot" heats a microclimate near you instead of trying to heat the whole room or house, and the other space heaters I looked at were TOO powerful. If you use a normal space heater it can burn 15 kwh at 1500 watts output in 10 hours compared to 2 kwh with My Heat, and the bigger space heaters are maybe putting out too much heat if you have another source of home heating to keep the temp of the whole house at a certain level. The price is FABULOUS too. Pricing under $18 makes for a small investment for such great utility. When is the last time you spent $20 that could save you hundreds of dollars? Mine has paid for itself in one month in savings on electricity and made me HAPPY and warm. The unit is well built, tastefully and artistically designed, easy to keep clean and after a day or two of operation the faint plastic odor is gone for good which is very important for such an intimate heater. I have had some other brands of plastic space heaters that smelled strongly of plastic indefinitely. I expect My Heat to last a long time, compared to a heat pump it has few moving parts. If you think about it if you lower your thermostat and cut your electric heat pump use in half perhaps that expensive unit will last years longer too so you can't even calculate the total savings from using My Heat as a spot heater. I bought the My Heat because I was SHOCKED at my electrical usage last month during a polar vortex day when I used 10 times as much energy to heat my room as a normal day, and at that same rate I would have spent a LOT more on my power bill. Heat pumps just don't work efficiently when the outdoor temperature drops below 35-40 degrees so having an ancillary heat source during those times is essential to help stay comfortable until the outdoor temperature comes up a little. In comparison we are having another polar vortex today a month later, and I am keeping warm and snug with My Heat on my desk blowing on my hands and face a gentle warm breeze and will only run the heat pump enough to use maybe 3 kwh today...probably a tenth of what I used on a similar day before My Heat arrived. I highly recommend My Heat to keep your personal space warm, happy and content! Please be aware that some other reviewers have mentioned that their My Heat overheated when the knocked it over on its face and perhaps got hot enough to deform the plastic. This is an electrical heating device so please be cautious and make sure it stays upright. It is pretty hard to get it so close it will burn you, but I would be mindful about it. The front grill actually has never gotten so hot it scaled my fingers or hurt me even when touching them after full operation so I think the dangers are minimal.

I bought a few of these Lasko MyHeat Personal Space Heater, Compact Heaters in both Black and the white. - I bought my 1st one of these in September of 2018 and it is STILL working! - I needed a bit of heat for under my chilly home office desk and thought this was a good size to try. - I liked it so much that I bought a few more to use as spares for when this one would eventually quit working. - Amazingly, this 1st little heater is STILL working and it is now January of 2026! WOW! - I have been using this Lasko MyHeat Heater ALL DAY, EVERY DAY for about 7 and a half years now! - I do have my husband use his garage air compressor to blow out any dust or dog hair about 3 or 4 times a year. - I still have not had to use the other spares I bought, because this one has never quit working, which is amazing! - I think the Lasko MyHeat is one of the best small heaters I have ever bought. - It takes the chill out from under my desk but does not make it too overly warm.. - I even use during most of summer too, as my home office stays pretty cool even in Summer. - If you want a nice, reliable small heater for under the desk use, I highly recommend this one! - I absolutely LOVE my little Lasko MyHeat Personal Space Heater!

I like how easy these heaters are to use just plug it in and flip the switch and the heats cranking. For 200 W worth the power drawl it puts out a decent amount of heat. They seem to be fairly durable compared to the other small personal space heaters, I’ve bought over the years, the only thing I disliked was the fact that they don’t have a tip over shut off just an overheat shut off. That doesn’t really work that well since one of the two heaters I bought got knocked over and it halfway melted it before it ever shut off. It no longer works as a result . The other one I use an upstairs bathroom that doesn’t have any heat, so that you don’t have to sit on a cold seat. They fit just about anywhere as small as they are provided. There’s enough clearance on flammable items. At 200 W they have about the lowest power consumption, if not the lowest power consumption of any of the small personal space heaters I’ve used over the years. My old lady absolutely loves it, since she hast to sit down every time just like all the ladies. I put a picture of the one that fell over and melted, as well as a picture of the other one that sits by the commode. Would have given it five stars if it had a tip over safety, rather than the overheating safety that doesn’t really work that well.

Good: Very small and only 200 watts. I have a space heater already but it is 1000-1500 watts and a bit too powerful for my tiny room. So wanted this one to just maintain a temp and not blast me with heat. It won't suddenly heat up the room a lot but it will keep the temp comfortable for 5 hours using the same amount of electricity as the other one uses in just one hour. The cord is decently long, 6 ft. I put it up on a stepstool because it is so tiny (6 in tall and 4 in wide) that I was afraid I might trip on it! It isn't super high tech but since it is only 200 watts, it doesn't need a thermostat or anything. It supposedly has overheat protection but doesn't seem to have tip over shutoff.

This is so good, I always have cold feet and this heat is the solution, it's small quiet, and easy to use. I like it!!!

Works very well. Has a 3 year warrantee. Housing stays cold when running. Heats up a 30 square feet area very quickly. Excellent for a small trailer. Will be buying another one!

Perfect size and heat for a 4 x 4 grow tent. Be nice if you could adjust the heat. That’s why I only gave it four stars.

This heater is terrible. It barely throws any heat.

I bought this heater for the low wattage (200w) to run from my Ecoflow River power station (1200w/720Wh). The power draw from this heater ranged from 180 watts to 290 watts. For most people that won't matter, and it is a good little heater. The build quality looks and feels great. I'm a little disappointed though that it uses higher watts than in its description because it directly affects how long I can run it without recharging my power station. The heater ran for just over 2.5 hours on my Ecoflow River. In theory, it should have actually run for almost an extra whole hour. This is just helpful info for anyone looking to run this heater from a power station. Again, it's a great heater, but it definitely draws more than 200watts.
